Story

I am competing in my first marathon on Sunday 2nd October. 

After having our baby girl Sienna who was born with an ulnar cleft hand, we have had multiple trips to the UK to Great Ormond Street over the past year.

We have been in contact with Family First since having Sienna. Jessica has always been extremely supportive and always checking in on us as a family. 

Their aim is to be a support system, as well as helping families who have to leave the island with sick children to receive medical treatments. 

As we have Siennas big operation coming up in October and having to be in the UK with her and only one of us to be allowed in the ward with her, the Charity are helping us plan and fund this extremely emotional life changing trip. 

We would love to support Family First as much as we can for not only helping us with our trip but for the multiple families they have and will help over the years.
